Configuration Worksheets
Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets
to record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-54 and
use one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and
outputs. Use different colors for video and audio and for computer video and low
resolution video.
